I got an Applause AA12 and an Epiphone Thunderbird bass at a garage sale yesterday, The little one was $5 and the big one $10. Both look like they were in the garage for a long time without cases, and each features extra-high action! The AA12 comes with dust bunnies inside, and someone has enhanced the rosette and binding using a Sharpie.

It's a dirty job, but someone's got to do it...

I'm not sure what strings or tuning will work on the AA12, maybe silk and steel or electric 10s to lower the tension and action. This is Korean made. Does it have a wooden neck?

Looks like it's wood to me. How do you prepare dust bunnies? Baked or boiled? Amazing, I can't see any finish cracks in the Applesauce. And, I suggest you learn to play slide on that critter. Best of luck, Steverino! Five bucks......new strings cost twice that.........merde.
